Two nickel sulphide projects in WA’s northern goldfields
Fisher East is a new nickel province – discovered in 2013 by Rox
Collurabbie discovered in 2004 by WMC – but relatively unexplored
Fisher East and Collurabbie are just 70km apart – project development synergies Mineral Resource of ~ 50,000 tonnes Ni metal @ 2.5% Ni at Fisher East Mineral Resource of ~13,500 tonnes Ni equivalent @ 2.3% at Collurabbie

Low technical risk project :
o Toll milling – truck ore to nearby plant (two plants within 200km)
o Build a plant on site – truck concentrate for sale Decline to underground mine ~100m depth to sulphides
Standard underground mining techniques and costs (A$130/t)
Metallurgical recoveries, 80 – 99%, and saleable concentrate grades, 10 - 14% Ni, acceptable Fe:MgO ratios, low As (no penalties) Straight forward process flow sheet and logistics Increased resources will increase mine life and project value
